Rare 19th-century English Arts & Crafts oak sideboard by Pratt & Prince – sunflower motif inlay

An outstanding and rare mid-19th century Arts & Crafts sideboard, crafted by the esteemed furniture makers Pratt & Prince of Bradford, Yorkshire. This impressive piece showcases the finest in traditional British craftsmanship. Made from solid oak with brass hardware, the sideboard is fully inlaid with intricate marquetry, including a striking sunflower motif on the mirrored upper section—a true hallmark of the Arts & Crafts movement. The upper part features a beautifully shaped bevelled mirror beneath a decorative arch (note: the mirror glass shows age-related wear—see photos). The base offers excellent functionality with 3 central drawers, 3 small archive drawers, and 2 large lower drawers on either side. A magnificent statement piece that combines beauty, utility, and history. Rarely found in such complete and original condition—this is true craftsmanship of a kind that is seldom seen today.
